Last Day (How Original is this Title?)

Delayed Post from 7/2/11 PM

This morning we left from Gordon College early because our last day weighed in at 106 miles. In the morning we went by a yard sale just before the New Hampshire border, and we turned back to go to it after they cheered for us. It turned out to be a benefit sale for Relay for Life by the group Dottie's Darlings and their leaders Jean and Ruth. They gave us some lemonade as we gave them cards and shared the story of our sisters. Further on down the road in Hampton, NH the guys ran into some trouble. While passing some parked cars a driver opened his door right as Jon went into it. He crashed and then Lewie crashed into him. Neither of them were injured but Jon's front wheel was warped beyond repair. So, after some advice they called the authorities to fill out an incident report. To make a long story short, Jon rode in a police car a couple miles down the road to a bike shop where he got a new wheel and continued on his way. After this scare we rode into Maine and then stopped at a car wash for the York girls hockey team. We talked to them for a little while, then they sprayed us with the hose as we went through their line. A little while later we were feeling hungry and we went to a place in Ogunquit that was giving free cake tasting (very good cake). Outside of the shop we met Mary, who was very excited to hear how we were spreading the Word of God to the women and girls in the DRC.

Then we had lunch. The rest of the ride was fairly smooth sailing with no significant stops, until we got about 20 miles out. Then Lewie handed his bike over to Emily so that she could ride the last leg of the trip. Lewie and Mark thereupon decided to run the last 20 miles. At this point it was about 5:00. So, the rest of the group arrived at Windham Assembly of God Church in time to shower and go to dinner. We went to a seafood restaurant called Bob's with Tom Trageser, and it was there that we had Mark and Lewie arrive around 9:45 to eat. After eating we went back to the church and fell asleep almost immediately.

It's still so unreal that the tour is over. The day when we arrived in Florida seems to be forever ago, but the tour has gone by so fast. Now we get to relax a little more and present to some churches in the morning.

Continue praying for our sisters.
